Applied Physics, 4 cr.
The course will develop the mathematical and analytical
techniques required for making accurate computations in applied
physics. In parallel an understanding of the applications will
be developed through hands on labs. Topics covered will
include: systems of units, forces, torques, static equilibrium,
kinematics, energy and momentum. Co-requisite: MAT-101.
